He was married to the Belgian soprano Jane Paquot (1878 or 1880 - 1952). According to the label, he was also connected with the Opéra, Paris. We hear him here on a Pre-dog, so that means the recording was made between 1907-1909. The label is badly damaged; a steel needle has carved quite a few circles on the paper there.

Famous mainly for the novel Gigi), she was asked in 1917 to write a ballet for the Opéra de Paris. She chose Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) to set her libretto to music. At Ravel's suggestion, it became an opera. The premiere took place in Monte Carlo in 1925, conducted by Victor de Sabata. It is extremely playful music in a palette of styles,...

Recordings of wind bands were very popular in the first decades of the last century: you see many old recordings with wind bands: the Black Diamonds Band; the Sousa Orchestra; the Garde Républicaine; the Coldstream Guards, Prince's Orchestra, to name a few. One of the reasons was that in the acoustic period (until 1925, when the microphone was introduced) wind bands could be recorded well via the horn. I also find this recording very clear in sound, despite being made in 1908. L'Orchestre...
